Since I have a guru rating and have posted almost a 100 answers for free. Will some one help me for free. I have a Toshiba Satellite 2250XCDS and a few months ago my Wife and I were watching a Bary Smith video on Youtube when a loud screech came from the hard drive and a blue screen of death came up. So I purchased a new hard drive and reloaded windows xp pro. into computer. I also had to reload My Belkin utility card to connect to the internet.

Averatec 2300 My Averatec 2300 won't start. Very strange problem. It started a few weeks ago. It wouldn't start, then the next day it worked fine. Then it wouldn't start again. Then it did. Now it won't start at all. Black screen, power light comes on and shuts down when you hold the power for five seconds as it should. No hard drive or cmos activity. I have multiple batts and power supplies, check the memory and HD. Seems like a motherboard problem but I sure hope not. Any ideas?
